12700H, basically a 7840u with a trash iGPU and trash battery life. Microcenter had 7840u with same spec HP laptops for $450 for quite a long time before 2025. Maybe wait for some Lunar lake for this price.

I am using this laptop for more than 2 years.
Keyboard and the screen are great.
However, as soon as you push it a little bit, it makes fan noise like a water faucet running. If you don't mind that noise, it is fine for the money.

No, this is a standard setup. I've owned it for over 2 years. Asus tech support is akin to relying on a drunken hobo for help. Thermal throttling on this, reconciled to the ability it can be by living on a dock and thermal paste swap just out of warranty. Initially had intermittent issues, bitlocker reboots and shut downs, but it has been well over 6 months since the last issue. Have used it at least 8 hours a day, 6 days a week for over 2 years. Would I pay $460 for a "refurb" when I bought the same unit new 25 months ago for 600…no but that is a price comparison against the prior purchase, not a current comparison against its value within the market. Screen is very nice although I personally never use it, and since it lives on a dock, the battery life has not been tested. In my use, it was basically a portable desktop with a battery backup for power outage.

Added 32gb Ram stick so have been running 40GB since day 1 (16 dual channel apparently).

It's not a touchscreen so why would you want to do that?

You are paying for the lovely OLED screen.
I got this model for 450 USD, screen is so good, but battey life sucks.

This laptop has a so-dimm slot which is very rare in a laptop of this size. Quite tempting actually.

I don't think the newer models have a so-dimm slot.
